“WAR ON THE TERRACES”

GO!

1.
IT’S ALL GONE QUIET OVER THERE,
THE SEATS AND THE STANDS ARE BARE,
AND YOU REMEMBER NOT LONG AGO,
ALL THE TIMES THAT WE BATTLED THERE,
THE SUN SHINES RIGHT ON THE GUTTER,
YOU REMEMBER THAT HE WAS THERE,
YOU SHOULD KNOW, WEREN’T TOO LONG AGO,
THAT YOU GRABBED HIM BY HIS HAIR.

CHORUS:

WAR ON THE TERRACES
WAR ON THE TERRACES
IT WAS WAR ON THE TERRACES
WAR ON THE TERRACES.

2.
THE LOCAL PUB IT STANDS SILENT,
AND OPENING TIME WILL BE SOON,
AND YOU REMEMBER THE PINTS WE SANK,
THEY SAID THEY TOLD US JUST WHAT TO DO,
AND YOU REMEMBER THEM WAGONS,
WHEN THEY TOOK US STRAIGHT DOWN THE NICK,
AND WHEN YOU THINK BACK TO THEN,
DON’T IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A PRICK.

CHORUS:

3.
AND YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE TERRACE,
AND A SMILE, IT BREAKS YOUR FACE,
AND TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION,
THEY’LL BE THERE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE.

CHORUS:     X2
